Jack Vessalius has always seen the dark side to humanity and believes all humans are corrupt until meeting Lacie Baskerville. Lacie has known since childhood she was destined to die, but instead of viewing her life with bitter resentment she chooses to see the beauty in life. After Lacie dies, Jack vows to find her and will use any means necessary to help him in his goals.

What if the Core of the Abyss decided not to give up on Jack and put in someone else in his body to live his life and change his mistakes? The end result will be decided by fate and the Abyss itself. Hi, I'm Jack, and I'm not evil nor planning to destroy everything! Why do you ask? SI!Jack, OC reincarnation, AU from main story. This is just a quaint little fairytale.

On Oswald's resolve after a hundred years of slumber; the wrongs he tried to undo, and those he committed instead. On his realizations and his farewells; the meaning of that smile at Lacie, and of that stare towards Jack. And on the meaning of those tears that were shed for him.

Gil's memories begin to surface; he's not sure of anything anymore. Oz will do whatever it takes to keep his loved ones safe, even if that means pushing them away. AU.
